Adityanath also pointed out that prior to 2017, Uttar Pradesh had only one and a half expressways. Currently, the state boasts 21 expressways, and if all 22 are completed, Uttar Pradesh will host 60% of the country's expressways. He noted that Uttar Pradesh has the largest railway network in the country, spanning 16,000 kilometers, and the most metro lines. Before 2017, the state had very few operational airports, with only two fully functional and two partially operational.
